Ohio Wesleyan 9, Earlham 0

Sophomore forward Olivia Danley (Del Rio, Texas/Independence (Va.)) put Ohio Wesleyan ahead to stay and freshman forward Mattison Hyland (Broadheadsville, Pa./Pleasant Valley) scored twice during a school-record-setting second quarter as the Bishops remained unbeaten with a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Earlham on Wednesday in Richmond, Ind.

Danley put the Bishops on the scoreboard with an unassisted goal in the fifth minute of play, and freshman midfielder Brogan Hellig (Monroeville, N.J./Saint Joseph Academy) added a score during the final minute of the opening quarter.

Ohio Wesleyan erupted for 4 goals during the second period, breaking the school record of 3 accomplished twice against Oberlin during the 2022 season.  Danley set up a goal by senior midfielder Megan Knee (San Diego, Calif./Mount Carmel) in the 23rd minute, then sent a pass to Hyland, who shot over Quaker keeper Rachel Alma in the 26th minute.  The Bishops added a pair of goals during the final minute of the quarter, with sophomore forward Emma Wright (Marlton, N.J./Cherokee) first scoring with :32 remaining, then setting up Hyland on a goal with :04 to go.

Senior forward Emily Streeter (Acton, Mass./Acton-Boxborough) scored early in the fourth quarter, courtesy of a diagonal pass from senior forward Allie Crawford (West Hartford, Conn./Hall).  Junior midfielder Zoë Nelson (Frederick, Md./Urbana) added a goal midway through the period, and Danley redirected a Wright shot into the cage in the closing minutes.

Ohio Wesleyan outshot Earlham, 27-1.  Junior Meg McCarthy (Trumbull, Conn.), junior Brynn Schlesinger (Arnold, Md./Broadneck), and freshman Payton Mindel (Louisville, Ky./duPont Manual) combined on the shutout.
